Don’t be. The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said the state’s pumpkin crop looks good despite last month’s stormy weather.

East Coast states reported losing as much as 50 percent of their pumpkins after Hurricane Irene. There is some pumpkin production in Hampton Roads that “took a hard hit,” said Matthew Lohr, the department’s commissioner, in a statement.

But most of the state’s pumpkin growers are in southwest Virginia, which wasn’t affected by the storm, he said. Other pumpkin-growing areas, including central and northern Virginia, were relatively unscathed, too, he said.
